Mars

Mars was the Roman god of war and agriculture.

Mars protected those who fought for their communities, and stayed home to raise crops for food.

In Greek, Mars was known as Ares.

Mars : 

If you weighed 70 pounds (32 kg) on the Earth, you would weigh about 27 pounds (12 kg) on Mars. 

How much would you weigh on Mars? 

Scientists are excited because Mars due to its mild temperament is more like the earth more than any planet in the solar system.

Mars probably had rivers, streams, lakes and even an ocean.

Sometimes you can hear them tell Mars “red planet”. It’s because of the surface of Mars, you would see red land and rocks everywhere.

At first, the only way modern explorers could study Mars was with satellites that would fly close to the surface of Mars and take pictures as it did so. The satellites would then send these pictures back to Earth.

The Planet

As scientific technology became more advanced, scientists were able to put spacecraft into orbit around the Red Planet. These types of missions allowed scientists and researchers to obtain even more information about Mars.

Then, as technology advanced even more, scientists and researchers were able to actually land spacecraft on the surface of Mars.
